Dorn's World..
I just got a 19" tig last week and I haven't seen him eat since I have put him in my 750...Is this normal that they take this long to adapt to a new home?? I was told he eats market shrimp so I've been trying to feed that and massivore...Any advice would be helpful and great..

Dorn two words brudda WATER QUALITY these cats are super sensitive man!!!!!And it does not help the new surroundings .....
 
Ok do u think I should move him to my 360 that is super cycled and established?
 
I tink your tig is juz too stress over his new enviroment...give it some time...
U can try adding some blackwater to calm it down...
Switching off all the lights helps alot too.
Once is calm down...and hungry.
It will start eating again

U can try feeding it some small fishes too if the hunger strike is too long...last resort to get the appetitie going
